[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595056, member: 1550"] I'm going to disagree that all of our kids need medication. Sonic, who is on the autism spectrum, always did worse on medications and well with interventions. And our drug addicted teen did not do well on medications either because she didn't really need them. She needed to STOP using drugs, not be given drugs that she was already using to get high and many teens do use ADHD drugs to get high. They crush them in pillcrushers and snort them alone or with other pills. Many spectrum kids do not take medications. I hear it is at 50% who are on medication. Now if it's bipolar, yes, you need drugs. That is why the right diagnosis is so imperative. But I will not forget that my own son was MISdiagnosed with bipolar and on so many horrific medications that did nothing but give him side effects. We as parents need to be careful. [/QUOTE]
